The International Kennel Club of Chicago will host the 2010 International Cluster of Dog Shows, which draws top dogs from across the United States and Canada to compete for prizes and the coveted title of “Best in Show,” at Chicago’s McCormick Place Lakeside Center, 2301 S. Lake Shore Drive, Saturday and Sunday February 27 & 28, 2010.

One of the largest all-breed benched dog shows in the country, the International Cluster of Dog Shows attracts over 60,000 visitors to observe more than 10,000 purebred dogs from 161 breeds demonstrate their skills in a variety of competitions. Judged competitions include conformation, agility and obedience; the Best in Show Amateur-Owner-Handler Competition; Junior Dog Judging, offered exclusively at International Cluster of Dog Shows for children ages 9  19; and the Puppy Spectacular, which features the finest puppies aged 6 months to 12 months competing for “Best Puppy In Show.” Again this year, a “Chicago-style” no-benches format is to be used allowing guests to meet and greet with dogs and their handlers.
